Beit known that LWILLIAM IsAAo CASTLE@ MAN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Allens Spring,in the county of Pope and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in PortableFurnaces; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use y the same.

This invention-relates to certain new and i useful improvements inportable or kettle furnaces. i

The object of the invention is'to provide p a simple and inexpensiveconstruction in a furnace of this class, which shall prove thoroughlyefficient and satisfactory inuse.

A further object is to employ a novel arrangement of parts by which thepot orvessel may be supported at any desired height above the furnace. ti

With these and other objects in view varif ous novel details andcombinations of parts are employed, which will be hereinafter more fullyset forth and specifically pointed out in the claims following thedescription.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, which form part of thisspecification and wherein like letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both views: Figure 1:- is a view in perspective,showing one form of portable furnace, constructed and arranged to embodymy improvements. Fig. 2:-=- is a similar view of a slightly modied form.y In the construction of the supporting stand or tripod, I preferablyemploy asingle length rod, which is bent up to form a ring-like bodyportion -a. Thisbody portion is provided with outwardly inclined legs`a2ot2 which may be formed integral with the ring.

Referring to Figs. l and 2, the legs -a2- 0.2- are shown twisted at apoint -ato form pockets -a approximately U shaped, for the reception oflugs or projections -bof the pot or vessel -B-. Again, they may be bentas in Fig.` 2, to form a series of pockets aon each leg, therebyallowing for the adjustment of the aforesaid Vessel to any heightdesired.

It will be understood that I do not wish to limit myself to the exactconstruction herein shown and described, as detailt changes may be madewithout departing from the general idea involved.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is i In a portable furnace, a.`supporting stand or tripod consisting of a ring-like body portionhaving downwardly inclined legs with one or more pockets or rests formedon each` of said legs, in vcombination with a vessel provided withprojections adapted for entering the pockets, as specified.
